The day Dominic James passed is the day I looked at God and said, “You are not good and you are not to be trusted” and I denounced any type of faith in God or any god whatsoever.

The teacher who calmly starts talking to the class about anger and hopes to have a useful and productive discussion about anger while the kids are calm is missing the boat. (Gottman, 2016).

Cont’d: The light-bulb moments for kids' learning about anger, sadness, fear, pride, love and affection, shame, and so on, is when kids are actually having these emotions.

In our research with emotion coaching with children, we have discovered that the magic moments for teaching kids about their feelings and helping them to trust and understand them and also regulate them occurs when the children are emotional. (Gottman, 2016).

Nothing more humbling and slightly upsetting than realizing that certain human experiences cannot be avoided. They are part of the human experience and necessary for our evolution. Example: The best time to learn how to process and regulate emotions is while experiencing them.

Guilt and shame are one of a hell of a thing because if them never gwan suh, nobody would have paid attention. 🥲.

Sometimes when life feels a bit overwhelming or like there is no way things can turn around, I just think, “What if today was your first day on earth, what would you do differently if you had 30 more years to go?” . So every day is a new Day 1 of 10,957.

It tickles me how people on here don’t realize they act just like judgy “church people”. Policing and chastising people for their way of life is the same whether you’re doing it in the name of God or based on your own arbitrary standard for what’s wrong or right.

Decisions, decisions.

Never read Harry Potter as a kid. The books were just too big and I couldn’t get past the fact that there were so many books to read of that size with no pictures. About to start the last book now 🥹.

Always wondered what people thought was happening besides making the juice taste bad.

Can’t tell if I’m still an introvert, this is concerning.

The people who always “want better for others” tend to break the cardinal rule of relationships most often and don’t know it. They keep getting resented and iced out by the people they try to help and don’t know why. Humans have a desperate need to be liked as they are.

This is one variation of the “secret” to happy relationships. When you sign up for commitment, you sign up to have unconditional kind regard for your partner and treat them in that way.
